Veritula – Meta
#2728·Dennis HackethalOP revised 5 months agoFeature idea: private discussions only the creator and invited people can see. This could be a paid feature; $2 per discussion, say.
How would you notify participants of changes to the privacy setting?
Preview links of discussions should show the name of the discussion being linked.

#3087·Benjamin Davies, 4 months agoPlease add a ‘first, previous, next, last’ navigation thing to the top of the activity feed page and similar pages. Currently I need to scroll to the bottom to go to a different page.
Good call. I made the pagination ‘sticky’ as of 1e7a85d. Archiving this but let me know if something isn’t working right.
#3101·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoIf the discussion owner accidentally removes someone and then adds them back right away, it sucks if all the associated records are still gone.
In later implementations, I could maybe implement a ‘soft’ delete or grace period. Or I could keep the associated records and rely on authorization rules to prevent access. But as of right now, that’s a premature consideration.

#3099·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoWhat if they still have subscriptions or bookmarks in that discussion?
Those could be deleted when the user is removed.
#3072·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoThere could be hard cutoff: they lose access to everything, including their own ideas in that discussion.

#3079·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoBut that sucks. Maybe someone works hard and submits a bunch of ideas only to lose access to them all.
This functionality is pretty standard across apps. You can be removed from Discord servers, Telegram channels, etc without warning or reason at any time. People generally know and accept this. If they still put in effort, that’s on them.
#3081·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoBut then invitees might not put as much effort into those discussions.
That depends on a bunch of factors, including their relationship with the discussion owner, into which Veritula has no visibility.

That risk could be clearly communicated in the UI.

#3074·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoThey could keep read-only access to the discussion but can’t add new ideas or change existing ideas.
Maybe you remove them because you don’t even want them to be able to see anything.
#3073·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoThey could keep access to their own ideas but not see others’.
There’d probably be a bunch of edge cases with this approach. For example, others would still be able to comment on those ideas, and the comments would have to be hidden from OPs. Which begs the question of how that impacts the displayed criticism count… And so on.
If you later realize that adding someone was a mistake, you should be able to correct that mistake.
#3071·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoWhat happens if you add a user to a private discussion, they submit a bunch of ideas, and then you remove them?
Permanent access: once added, you can’t remove them.

#2669·Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months agoFeature idea: pay people to address criticisms (either revise an idea and check off criticisms or counter-criticize).
Could this feature be unified with #2811 somehow?
#2811·Dennis HackethalOP revised 5 months agoFeature idea: pay people to criticize your idea.
You submit an idea with a ‘criticism bounty’ of ten bucks per criticism received, say.
The amount should be arbitrarily customizable.
There could then be a page for bounties at /bounties. And a page listing a user’s bounties at /:username/bounties.
